REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK

The third annual flower festival We
opened in this city last Tuesday evening
and a great deal of room has been dt
voted by the HERALD daily to reciti

ter of regret that even more space coul
not be given the great flower exhibi,

week will begin this morning, and a
many of these copies will be sent abroa,

THE PAVILION
Is l76 feet long, l20 wide and 100 feet in
height from the bottom of the basement
to the ridge board. Taking in gallery
and vestibules the area embraces AZ 900
square feet of superficies. Il is admira.
ably adapted for such occasions as the
flower show.
THE EXHIBIT.
Back Of the stage is an immense arch
of palm leaves of many varieties, gath.
cred from the gardens of our citizens,
which strongly mark the genial semi
tropic character of cline which per-.
mits the cultivation of such plants in
the open air at all seasons of the year.
The gallery which runs around the en-.
tire circuit Of the Pavilion is trimmed all
along it's face with evergreens and cal
las. The back part of this gallery is set
apart for the ice cream booth, and this
is adorned by four great pillars, some
thirty feet in height, trimmed to their
tops with thousands of fine callas. As
hn ,out mn
queenly flower used in the exhibit may
be mentioned the fact that on Monday
large farm wagon loaded with them was
driven through the street. The mass
was like load of hay in its hugs bulk.
How such fact must strike the East:
ern mind in mid.April as one reflects
that these flowers bloom here in the
open gardens with not even bit OF
glass over them!
In the center of the Pavilion is a
fountain, the shaft of which is at least
thirty feet high, and the basin fifteen
feet in diameter. The shaft is trimmed
in very artistic manner with callas,
smilax and other flowers. The basin is
heaped all around its brim with Spot
ter's callas of great size and perfect
shape. Outside this basin in a broad
circular belt encircling the whole is the
rose bank. This belt is six feet wide.
and at its periphery perhaps the circle is
nearly one hundred feet in circumfer.
ence. This is constructed as gentle
slope, and is almost entirely covered
with roses of all varieties and of the
most perfect and wonderful develop.
ment. There are 5000 to 10000 roses
in this one spot. and they have to be re-
newed every other day.
